Bruno Romanelli – Runner-up Glass Sellers’ Art & Craft Award 2019

1. Will winning the Glass Sellers’ prize make a difference to you?

Bruno Romanelli

It’s hard to say exactly. It certainly raises one’s profile, which I have noticed and increases social media interest. Those are both positive things but it’s hard to assert if there is more tangible benefits.

2. Will the prize money be useful? What will you use it for and is it allocated to a specific project or use?

Yes of course, £1000 is a significant sum and will be spent acquiring glass for specific pieces to make in my day-to-day production.

3. What is more important to you – prize money or the prestige of winning a particular award?

The prestige is more important, but the prize money is also very useful and much appreciated.
